What is recorded here
A named place photographed at this map point in Buckinghamshire.
The Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal was completed in 1815 to connect the Grand Junction Canal (now part of the Grand Union) to Aylesbury, facilitating transport of agricultural goods and improving trade in the region. It is historically significant as an example of early 19th-century canal engineering and played a key role in the development of inland waterways in Buckinghamshire.
